p-Fluoronitrobenzene → 2-[(4-Nitrophenyl)sulfanyl]pyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-mercaptopyridine (10 g) was dissolved in DMF (100 ml), 60% sodium hydride (3.6 g) was added to the mixture at 0° C., and then, the mixture was stirred for 15 minutes at room temperature. 4-fluoronitrobenzene (9.75 g) was added dropwise to the mixture at 0° C. and the mixture was stirred for 1 hour at room temperature. To the reaction mixture was added, and the precipitated crystals were collected by filtration, and washed with hexane/diethylether, to give 2-[(4-nitrophenyl)sulfanyl]pyridine (12.6 g).
